flood alert

i attended my review class last friday. the weather forecast said it will be mostly cloudy with scattered rainshowers. i was supposed to wear my ballet flats but at the last minute i changed my mind. i slipped on my high-heeled havs. on the way to the review center, it started to drizzle. and the sky is gloomy.

my class was for 3 hours. in the middle of it, i went out to go to the lavatory. it was raining. but it wasn't hard. but when the class ended, it was sort of flooding just outside the auditorium. i was like hu-what?! and it wasn't raining hard too mind you. good thing i changed shoes. if i didn't, my flats and feet would have been soaked! so i went. when i was going out of the gate, high flood greeted me! shockness! good thing the car in front of my was also a sedan. so i tagged along at his back. it was taking the same route as mine. my goodness! i got scared a bit. i was talking to Mama Mary to help me and let me reach my home safely. and i did. although i reached Makati already because i was thinking of taking a left somewhere only to find out it's a no left turn. hahaha got home almost after 2 hours. it was traffic and flooding mostly. but im glad nevertheless. i was able to come home safely.

family time out (Aug 8-11)

it's the month before THE month. my mom has been really eager to come and visit me here. and to think i was home just last month and a few weeks after, she was already planning on coming here. she was saying that she and my dad would just stay in the house while i go about my normal routine. of course i can't do that! although i did attend 2 lectures while they were here. but i couldn't really concentrate. the thought of them being left at home doing nothing is bugging me and makes me feel guilty... somehow i feel obligated to take them out. and of course, i wanted to be with them. i wanted to be surrounded with moral support.

the whole 4 days that they were here, we only went to one mall -- Megamall. hahaha well, it's near and complete. most of the day, we were just lounging around the house. and after siesta, we would go out. for dinner, movie and malling. it felt good. i had a great time although we weren't really doing anything. just their presence was enough for me.

my mom was planning to come back again 4th sunday as they did last year. but i told her not to come anymore. it was enough they came to see it last year and quite frankly, they didn't do anything. they were just tired. and of course, this yr, atty friends are coming... and of course there will be parties and drinking. i don't want to miss that. i just assured my mom i'll come home right after i pack my things.

opportunity lost

Today should have been my first day in work... It’s kindda weird because I actually feel sad about it. I mean, work thing not pushing through. Well, it could have been a start. Work experience with such a promising corporation. Not bad. But I guess it is just not meant... yet.

rubber boots anyone?

Can I just share? Yesterday I received a funny text message from my dad. He was telling me that it’s flooding days in the Metro again and then asked, if I needed rubber boots! Hahaha It cracked me up! Big time! He said I could just put it in the car, in case of emergency. Funny. My dad has the strangest thoughts sometimes. It’s sweet and all because he was concerned and thought of me while apparently watching the news. But come on! Me? Wearing rubber boots?!?! That would be a million worth of paparazzi’s photo!
